I like mine. Ordered custom offsets so I had to wait but they are great wheels for daily driving. Load rating is good as well.

buddy had a set on a boxster S and broke both fronts without an off track excursion. Buy Forgelines. better quality for an extra $1,500.

Do some searching there was a thread about issues and delivery issues. Get some OZ or Forgeline

You guys need to check out Finspeed wheels. I did and am very happy for it.
They are the real deal. They are CCW track quality and value but are much better looking monoblock forged wheels.
18x9=19lbs 18x12=21lbs

Okay sorry for going off the rails.

My opinion is

OZ or BBS, anything in between is a waste of money. Just check used market for Forgeline vs new price, and do the same with BBS...
OZ survives Sebring, therefore will survive anything.

I have some forgestar, had them about 18 months, im pretty hard on wheels, have cracked a CCW but not my forgestar.

That being said, I would probably go with OZ as the best value. However I dont know it they make custom offsets. I kike 9.5 front wheels.

Yep I agree...the OZ Challenge wheel has turned out to be very popular at Sebring among us track people. If you want a lighter weight wheel just spend the bucks on the BBS if you don't want to spend the bucks and a couple lbs per wheel doesn't matter just get the OZ wheels.
However if you must have something forged and don't want to spend BBS money and need center lock wheels look at Formula 43 or Forgeline. If you go with Forgeline but from a dealer (like Jeff Alton at Turn3) that will stand behind the sale because Forgeline is a weird company to deal with.

I don't know but I wouldn't put HRE in the "unworthy" and waste of money category.
